The Most Badass Conference of the Year

by Jackson UpmannAnnouncementsApr 27, 2024

SL: What’s the most badass conference of the year?

Well, when you put it that way, there’s only one answer.

As attendees say:

  • “LevelUp is the most badass conference of the year.” —Sebastian
  • “Before this conference, I was depressed and lost. Now, I’m motivated to change my life.” —Olivia
  • “LevelUp is the single best investment I have ever made in myself.” —Steven
  • “I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime.” —Thomas
  • “It was truly life-changing.” —Ella

And here are two more reasons not to miss this truly life-changing event:

  1. If you (or your friends) are aged 18–29, you can apply for an Atlantis Scholarship covering your hotel rooms and the opening and closing banquets and dance—$690 in savings!
  2. With our April Ascent pricing, you’ll save an additional 40% on registration.

Of course, the Atlantis Scholarships are limited and going fast, and the April Ascent pricing ends on April 30, so…

Be a badass, and LevelUp today!
